Without dissection of the chest and artificial cardiac arrest, the patient is replaced with a new aortic valve by endovascular approach without incisions.
In MC Erebouni, this latest intervention is being carried out for the 4th time.
Aortic valve implantation is necessary for all patients diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis-critical narrowing. However, in some cases, open surgery is considered impossible or risky due to the patient's age or concomitant diseases. In this case, the only option to save the patient's life is to replace the aortic valve via an endovascular approach.
Our specialists have been carrying out these surgeries since 2019 together with foreign partners, each time with more experience. Dr. Serik Alimbayev, Head of The Structural Heart Disease Program of the National Scientific Cardiac Surgery Center in Astana. is also in Armenia.
Today, the number of cases of transcatheter aortic valve replacement is growing from year to year in the world, the Cardiology Center of MC Erebouni has every opportunity to increase the number of surgeries. This intervention requires the work of a multidisciplinary team, serious technical capabilities. The results of all surgeries carried out so far are positive.
